lazy days of summer

First Day of Summer 2014 is Approaching

(June 21st)

... and all I want to do is lay out on the beach.

Summer is all about bikinis, big hair and even bigger adventures.

I'm trying to grab ahold of the reigns and make this summer one to be remembered.

Summer nights, lazy picnics, music festivals, road trips, beach bodies, grilled corn, fire works, skin, brunch, summer romance, pool parties, ice cream trucks, bbq's, lemonade stands, dinner cruises, summer breeze with the top down, paint balling, wet hair, day parties, water parks.

"Your Hair is Awesome!"

Enjoying the beautiful weather we've been having lately

Memorial Day Weekend Recap: Caribbean Wine Festival @ Linganore Winecellars

This weekend marked my first ever Caribbean wine festival, and it's sure to be the first of many. My sister (and full-time wingman) Ashleigh was my date. We met up with one of the cutest and real (not one of those 'do it for the likes-approval-new-age') couples I know, Kirk and Isimot, the duo behind my obsession with referring to your love as your "rib." Swoons. A good time was had by all. There was live caribbean music, food, vendors and plenty of dancing; as well as a section reserved solely for hula hooping! And don't even get me started on the wine. (If you haven't tried raspberry wine, do it now. You're welcome) It was one of the best times I've had in a while and I can't wait to return in July for the Reggae fest. I heard it was even more live. Let the summer Festivals begin! 

Next up: The Roots Picnic, 5/31 

( SIDE NOTE: I'm loving the special edition TRIBE tee. Might need to create more? )

Woke Up to 8+ Inches of Snow...

Woke up to 8+ inches of snow, and it's still coming down. Ugh. Needless to say, I'm craving Spring/ Summer more than ever. I was going through pics from warmer days last year and decided to share a few. I was a little camera shy well into the fall due to four long months of unfortunate brace face; but it was all for the greater good - a perfect smile.  I'm tempted to start unpacking spring clothes and putting together outfits.. my little way of telling the universe I'm ready!

( SIDE NOTE: I'm hoping to get back to this length by my birthday. Deep conditioning twice a week + fewer trims. )
